The Random Mode is recommended to keep deer
from adapting to a preset pattern of sounds. To
operate the unit in Random mode, set Switch 5 in
Mode Settings as follows:
Switch 5 Mode
ON Random mode ON
OFF Random mode OFF
NOTE: The unit will always play for approximately 48 seconds
independent of the number of sounds that are selected.
SPEAKERS USED SWITCH
The Speakers Used switch is located just below the
OFF - ON switch. The unit will always broadcast
sounds out of one speaker at a time. You may
choose to operate only one speaker, and this may
be accomplished by moving the slide switch all the
way to the left directly above "#1". To operate two
speakers, simply slide the switch to the middle
position directly above "#1-#2". Sounds will then
broadcast out of Speaker #1, then Speaker #2,
alternating between the two speakers. To operate
four speakers, simply slide the switch all the way
to the right directly above "#1-#4". Sounds will then
broadcast out of Speaker #1, or Speaker #2, or
Speaker #3, or Speaker #4, randomly broadcasting
sounds from all four speakers, during each cycle.
PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE
Recording Switches: Results:
1, 3, 5 and 6 to “ON” position Plays Sounds 1, 3, 5 & 6
Mode Switches:
1 = “OFF” position Time Off Interval is set to
2 = “ON” position Medium, every 1 to 4 minutes
3 = “ON” position Operates during daylight
4 = “OFF” position hours only
5 = “ON” position
Sounds in random, non-sequential order
VOLUME CONTROL
The unit has a volume control dial on the front panel
of the unit. Turning the dial toward LOW will result
in reduced sound output and rotating the dial toward
HIGH will result in an increase in sound output.
CAUTION: Take care when turning the dial since the unit may be in
an inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could then reactivate at
a very high level of sound which could be painful to your ears.
POWER SWITCH
The ON - OFF power switch enables the unit to
operate. Slide the switch to the ON position to
start the unit. If you turn the unit OFF, be sure to

TIME OF OPERATION SWITCHES
The TIME OF OPERATION
switches (two) are located just
under the TIME OFF INTERVAL
switches in the switch array. ‘Night
Mode’ operates the unit at night
and ‘Day Mode’ operates the unit during the day.
However, the photocell that senses the sunlight is
susceptible to bright lights. Take care not to have
bright lights shining towards the unit since this can
prevent the unit from operating properly. In the
‘24-Hour Mode’, the unit will operate continuously,
regardless of the time of day. To set the time period
for the unit to operate set Switches 3 and 4 in the
Mode Settings switches to the following:
Switch 3 Switch 4 Mode
ON OFF Day Only
OFF ON Night Only
OFF OFF 24-Hour Operation
RANDOM OPERATION SWITCH
The Random switch is located
as shown in the switch array.
When the Random Mode is
turned ON, the unit will randomly
play the selected recordings in
non-sequential order; the Time Off Interval will be a
randomly selected period of time within the selected
range (Short, Medium, Long, Extra Long); and the
speakers will play one at a time in a random pattern
(if the Speakers Used switch is set to operate all
four speakers). When the unit is not operating in the
Random Mode, it will play the selected recordings in
their number order; the Time Off Interval will be the
shortest time period within the selected range; and
the speakers will play one at a time in a sequence
from Speaker 1 to Speaker 4 (See Speaker Used
Switch instructions following this section).
leave it off for about 30 seconds before turning it
back on to allow the electronics to properly reset.
